Just needed a place for a one night stay and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel appears to have undergone recent renovations and is a nice place to stay if on a budget. The room and hotel were clean, breakfast was included and the bed was comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.

It smelled terrible like no matter what we did we had to keep the window open and spray Febreze all the time otherwise it was gag worthy and the house keeping was annoying and the toilet moved everytime you sat down didn’t matter if you were just 10 pounds other than that bed was comfy and it was decently clean

Front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel is under renovation which caused minor issues. The common area trash receptacles were all overflowing. The dog area was a mess, no bags and overflowing bin.

The hotel was terrible. The bed was the most uncomfortable thing I’ve slept on. I didn’t sleep and we’d been at a concert drinking. It was lumpy. There were burn marks on the dresser. The outlet was barely connected to the wall. One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Very comfortable nights sleep!

Rooms where clean, and nicely remodeled, but could use new bedding as they were dingy in color.

I was a little skeptical when checking in, the lobby had a strong smell of cleaner and seemed stark. The room smelled fine, however, and was comfortable. No problems.

At first it appeared ok, then after we turned the lights on and went out to the balcony to check it out, it became clear this is a rundown establishment that doesn't care about cleanliness or safety. The footing for the railing on the balcony was rotted, carpet torn up as a trip hazard. The exhaust fan in the bathroom was packed full of dust and dirt. There was still hair on the shower wall from a previous tenant. Shotty repair work. All in all a bad place to stay if you have allergies or little kids.

Room wasn’t the cleanest or quietest, but for a short 1 night stay it worked.

The room was not very clean. I had to move my bed up against a wall. Upon doing this i found a lot of dust etc underneath bed.

The air freshener when you walk in the building was overpowering and nauseating. Staff at desk not overly friendly. Beds were very comfortable

The room was dirty. It was loud. Housekeeping didn't understand the do not disturb sign and kept knocking. In fact we woke up 3 times because of housekeeping knocking and random people living at the hotel. Screaming babies, slamming doors, just overall not a comfortable experience. And that's not even going in to them overcharging me

There is a party taking place in another room at 4:00 am, tried calling the front desk, no answer. Huge cobweb in the corner. No sleep tonight.

It was excellent as always. Except the window was leaking cold air from the outside along with the heater wasn’t blowing out nothing but warm air so we were cold but other than that it was good!
2.0
This property was absolutely disgusting. There was cigarette burns in the comforter, cob webs in the corners of the walls, the vent in the bathroom was filthy, stains all over the furniture, the sliding door to go outside had been broken into and the door was broken. There was trash all over the patio area. I will never stay here again.

Its been renovated recently and the room was clean. 3 queen beds was nice and it was spacious and included a balcony. The only thing that sucked was there was only 1 mirror and the bathroom was tiny. There were 3 teenage girls so that was a big thing for them.

Close to highway. Stores near by

The room appeared decent at first glance. Went to take a shower and the bathroom had roaches climbing the walls. Almost packed up and left. Made sure i checked my nags thouroughly before i left. Messaged the management staff.
2.0
Hotel floors smell on weed. There were people fighting and arguing half the night banging on the walls. Sounded like someone was being thrown across the room. We tried calling the front desk multiple times never got an answer from the front desk. During check in and check out staff seemed to be annoyed by our presence.
